Re: Lady married to famous man raises 1.2 million, asks for slave labor.
[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="The Register"] who explained that the $35,000 required to pay seven or eight musicians for 36 tour dates at union rates was too much [/quote] Surely they mean $35k per performance? That comes out to $1.26 million for the 36 tour dates, which is pretty substantial. $35k for 36 performances by 8 musicians comes out to about $120 per musician per performance, which doesn't sound like "union rates" to me, unless musicians have the shittiest union ever. I'm not saying this woman isn't a moron, just that the Register may be equally moronic for making it sound like she splurged on glossy pamphlets and then couldn't afford to throw some pocket change at the supporting musicians.[/quote]
